Star Trek 2 Gets A Title: Where Does It Rank In The Franchise?

What's in a name? J.J. Abrams' Star Trekreboot sequel finally has one (per Deadline) and despite my deepest, nerdiest hopes that early reports were on some crazy tip it's been confirmed so I guess we're stuck with it. I hope you're ready for — drumroll please... Star Trek Into Darkness. Star Trek into what now!?
I'm sure it was tough to come up with a naming convention that deviated from the original Trek movies' Roman numeral + subtitle formula, or the TNG-era Treks' annoying penchant for terribly vague one-word descriptors ("Nemesis"? "Generations"?). At least those made more sense once you saw the movie.

But Star Trek Into Darkness? For starters, it sounds like Step Into Liquid and Step Up 2 The Streets, which makes me think Chris Pine and Co. are headed for a dance-off with outer space surfers to the music of a British glam rock band. On top of that, dropping the colon forces us to comprehend "Trek" as both a noun and a verb, which makes my brain hurt. Who wants to go Star Trekkin' with J.J. Abrams?

[*Commenter Elijah Sarkesian is right: Maybe someone just forgot the colon. If that's the case then I forgive Abrams and will move Star Trek: Into Darkness into #10 right under Star Trek: Insurrection, because "insurrection" is at least an interesting vocabulary word.]

Maybe I'm being too harsh on poor Star Trek 2. Looking back on the Trek films, they weren't all winners. Here's how I'd rank the 12 franchise titles, from awesome (KHAAAAAAAN!) to turrible.

If you're going to judge a movie by it's title or its punctuation, then DON'T see the movie. You're not the kind of fan the movie needs. Most Trek-fans will go to see it if it was called "Star Trek: Return of Kitty Meow Meow." Some of you might say you won't, but you know you'll go check it out just out of curiosity anyway.

Star Trek Kitty Meow Meow!!!!!! IOh my god, just too FUNNY!!! ROFLMA. I love it!!!!! And you are right. I would go see Star Trek no matter what the name is!!!! I personally think too much attention is being put on the name. Who cares what the name is, just so long as it is STAR TREK!!!!!!:):):)

I find it interesting that a recent article on Voyager has it leaving our solar system the same way it did in the first star trek movie. Curious, isn't it? I wonder who or what it might meet out there?

The things i have seen in terms of laptop memory is the fact that there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR and so on, that must fit the requirements of the mother board. If the computer’s motherboard is pretty current and there are no os issues, upgrading the memory space literally usually takes under sixty minutes. It’s one of the easiest computer system upgrade techniques one can visualize. Thanks for giving your ideas.
